Gautier Capuçon - Dvořák & Herbert Cello Concertos

For his second solo recording, after his critically acclaimed recording of Haydns Cello Concertos (which inaugurated his exclusive recording contract with VC in 2003), Gautier Capuçon tackles Dvoraks masterpiece for cello (his only cello concerto), and couples it with that of an unfortunately under-reputed composer of the era. Gautier Capuçon is accompanied by Paavo Järvi who directs the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, to which Paavo Järvi has is music director since September 06. Dvořák wrote the concerto while in New York for his third term as the Director of the National Conservatory after having listened to Victor Herberts (a fellow teacher at the Conservatory) second cello concerto in 1894. Up till then Dvořák had always refused, stating that the cello was a fine orchestral instrument but totally insufficient for a solo concerto. Victor August Herbert (February 1, 1859 May 26, 1924) was a cellist, conductor and composer of light opera. His Cello Concerto is a new asset to Virgin Classics catalogue. Quite rarely recorded, it isnt today available on either VCs or EMI Classics catalogue - Julian Lloyd Webbers recording with Charles Mackerras and the London Symphony Orchestra on EMI isnt available at this date.

I never saw a musician love his instrument, his music and music in general soo much as Gautier does. A lovely person and musician.

Transcendant music, played by a transcendant artist. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yes Silvio, an exceptional cellist, very hansome, and even a married man like me fancies him madly.

Gautier is performing Dvorak in February next in Bilbao near where I live and I have prebooked seats for the concert. After this short video am thoroughly looking forward to it. Young, stylish, with feeling even if more gentle than many.

I first heard Gautier Capucon at film of Dudamel concert where he and his bro played Brahms. I think he is a fabulous performer and very yummy to watch as well as listen to. I am an older person taking cello lessons for the last 8 years & I find him very inspiring. Would love to hear him live but for now will support his career by purchasing his CDs
